- Changelogs

-
Version 3.1.6
- - Dialogue Improvements: Fixed and improved dialogue for the Khuul Lighthouse addons.
- Landscape Fixes: Addressed a landscape issue in Ald'Ruhn.
- General Enhancements: Made minor improvements in various areas.
- Caldera Manor Redone Patch: Enhanced the Caldera Manor Redone patch by fixing issues such as misplaced objects and under-cluttered rooms. These are minor improvements but worth mentioning.
Future Plans:
I intended to overhaul the FOMOD installer to include a preset setup option for a one-click installation. This would allow users to select the most compatible and vanilla-friendly addon combinations without any hassle. However, FOMODs are not my strong suit, so this feature didn't make it into this update. If you have experience with FOMODs and are interested in helping, I would greatly appreciate your assistance.
Development Status:
As you might remember, there was a time when BCoM received multiple updates each week. Recently, development has slowed down, not because I've lost interest in modding, but because I feel the mod has reached a satisfactory state. This doesn't mean there won't be future updates, but I wanted to keep you informed about the current situation.
Thank you for your continued support and interest in the mod!
- - Dialogue Improvements: Fixed and improved dialogue for the Khuul Lighthouse addons.
-
Version 3.1.5
- Integrated the Ebonheart Lighthouse by MwGek. The compatible version of the mod was already compatible with BCoM, but I decided to integrate the core/default version. It feels better integrated, makes Ebonheart looks more interesting, and also goes to replace the vanilla South East Empire Company building that in both vanilla and BCoM didn't serve any real purpose as it was a set of staircases with nothing inside to see or do.
Added a third Balmora Marketsquare option. Out of the three available options, I think this last one is the most convinging option.
Added optional Khuul Lighthouse. It's based on Lord Zarcon's Khuul Lighthouse mod, but it's been moved to a more logical position, works without DR_data, and I also made some additional edits for coherence (the interior is now fully cluttered in de_furniture and other small edits like this).
Some edits to the Caldera Manor Redone patch.

Version 3.1.4
- Some fixes and improvements from content originally from Waistworks expansion.
Removed an edit for compatibility with Justice for Shulki Ashunbabi.
- Some fixes and improvements from content originally from Waistworks expansion.
-
Version 3.1.3
- Optimized some assets (thanks to Vegetto).
Integration of TR East Empire Company tapestries.
Full scale overhaul of the Ald Skar Inn. DimNussens provided a fantastic variant of the redoran tavern with an exterior balcony, which prompted me to make a proper overhaul of the tavern. This has also been released as a standalone overhaul. This overhauls required editing Thirtheen Telvanni so there's patches provided until Dillon updates the mod on the official page. Atmpspheric Plazas and Arena are now optional.
New redoran well by R0 Updated the following patches: Lights Ald Ruhn, YAGD, Julan, Correspondances of Morrowind, No trespassing, Main Quest Enhancers.
Integrated the change from the mod "Imperial Altar in Vivec".
- Optimized some assets (thanks to Vegetto).
-
Version 3.1.2
- Fixed an issue with a shipmaster mentioning travel routes that were not actually available.
Fixed an issue with the Skywind Arena - FPS version teleporting an NPC in the wrong position during the duel of honor quest.
Edited the vanilla dialogue line for the Open Arena module, so that it no longer talks about the arena as being closed.
Fixed some issues with the Skywind Arena model.
- Fixed an issue with a shipmaster mentioning travel routes that were not actually available.
-
Version 3.1.1
- Fixed door positions in the Arena Waistworks.
Added patch for Illuminated Palace Redux.
Some edits to allow for some upcoming features of Roaring Arena. Spoiler alert: dynamic animal pens.
Fixed some issues with Welcome to the arena patches (even though you should switch to Roaring Arena :P)
Remade the patch zip fomod from scratch. The fomod is now simply organized by alphabetical order. It's less fool-proof than it was before as now you could potentially select two conflicting options at the same time, but I added instructions when needed. The patches should now be a lot faster to install.
- Fixed door positions in the Arena Waistworks.
-
Version 3.1.0
- Merged in Lore accurate arena.
Added Skywind Style Arena as a fomod option.
Updated Welcome To The Arena Patches

-
Version 3.0.8
- Fixed pathgrid issue with Bustilg Vivec Patches --> This also requires an update of the core esp and pathgrid_reset.
Updated Magical Missions patch so it works with and without the Taller Lighthouse option.
Added patch for RR Danke Cephalopod armor so that it's compatible with and without the optional Sadrith Mora Dock Expanion module (patch by Corsair).

Version 3.0.4
- 21/12/2023: patch zip only update - fixed a fomod issue and removed Dura gra-Bol's House Reclaimed - And the Grab-All Gang patches (now provided by MD directly)
- Removed Scrolls of the Nine Barriers patch: no longer necessary with MD's latest update.
-
Version 3.0.3
- Updated IEO patch (no longer an esp replacer). To work properly it also needs the core esp to be updated.
-
Version 3.0.2

- Updated Ebonheart Underworks patch
- Updated Guild of Vampire Hunters' patch: the interior has been redecorated in de_m style, has a few more things scattered around, and the NPCs have more unique appearance.

-
Version 3.0.1
- Moved the Vivec Hlaalu Bank to the Vaults cell, after a discussion with Vitruvian Guar, who also adapted the bank to fit in the vault cell. Fixed ownership issue in the Waterworks Merchants addon.
Fixed misplaced chest in Vivec, Back Shalk Cornerclub cell.
Updated Improved Inns Expanded patches.
Removed deprecated TD asset in the Redoran Council Hall.
Updated BCOM_pathgrid_reset esp file.

Fixed a couple of floaters in the Correspodances of Morrowind patch.
Fixed a couple of clipping objects (core esp).
Added optional Balmora Marketplace patch/addon. There's also an alternate version, with one big market in the center of the plaza, using a big guarskin overhang instead of the more tribal-looking market stalls from OAAB/TD (screenshot in the fomod or on the modpage if you're interested).
Added optional Census Office addon: it changes the Census Office so that the "Census and Excise Warehouse" cell is limited to the tower, which was, as a matter of fact, the only place that seemed to be used for storage. The rest of the cell has been merged into the "Census and Excise Office" cell, which makes a bit more sense, and there's a few beds where officers can sleep. Edits have been carried over from Lucevar's Seyda Neen mod.
- Moved the Vivec Hlaalu Bank to the Vaults cell, after a discussion with Vitruvian Guar, who also adapted the bank to fit in the vault cell. Fixed ownership issue in the Waterworks Merchants addon.
-
Version 3.0.0
- Hotfix 5 (14/10/2023). Fixed a misplaced tile in Wolverine Hall, Guild of Mages, added unique names to the various sailors in The Golden Crest ship, fixed Caius Rooftop Renovations patch.
- Hotfix 4 (12 september 2023). Fixed a few of the remaining issues with the 3.0 Update. If you're in the middle of a game it's not worth updating as I simply fixed a few cosmetic issues, but it's stuff you would likely not even notice.
- Here we are, the infamous 3.0.0 update is here! Some of us, the most optimistic, thought this would bring an end to long-lasting issues like wars and world hunger, while the most pessimistic thought this was going to be the end of the world.
As it so often happens, the truth lies in the middle…
- The first big change is that Balmora Waterworks is no longer a fork, but a simple patch. This doesn’t really change much for users, but it’s important to notice that you’ll need to reinstall the mod and remove some outdated esp files.
- Overhaul of every single ship in the game. This is the biggest part of the update. The philosophy behind the ships’ overhaul was to carefully check the original interiors to see if there was already a theme going on, and then building upon it. If the ship had no specific theme, then I simply cluttered it a bit more. I also leveraged the new ships and boats models from both OAAB_Data and TD_data to increase variety, and integrated many harbor specific assets.
- Removed RR Ships and Boats patch, as keeping compatibility with the new changes is quite difficult.
- Updated many common interiors to incorporate some of Lucevar's edits (from OAAB Better Caldera Interiors) and to integrate the new com_ assets from the latest OAAB_data release.
- Replaced the training yurt at the Erabenimsun camp with a concept art husk model (concept art from the official booklet, model by Dimnussens). Looks more alien and it’s a lot cooler.
- Replaced the big ashlander tent at the Ghostgate with a simple yurt, as the big tent is supposed to be velothi rather than ashlander so this is more coherent with TR’s use of the asset.
- Added an optional addon for the Urshilaku camp, introducing another variant of the concept art husk, this time made by Melchior Dahrk. Why is it an addon and not directly merged into the core esp? The official concept art is quite hard to read, and different modelers have interpreted it in different ways. Once the asset is made, it has to be implemented and being such a big structure it’s not easy to integrate in the vanilla ashlander camps since they’re quite small and secluded. As I wasn’t 100% sure about how to integrate the asset in the game, I tried my best but kept it as an optional addon. This way I don’t have to necessarily commit to a specific setup and there’s a certain degree of modularity. It’s something I’ve done many times with BCoM. In fact, the various “customization options” bundled in the core zip were made for similar reasons.
- Added an optional addon that integrates the Imperial Gatehouse model from the latest OAAB release to Buckmoth Legion Fort, Pelagiad Fort and Moonmoth Legion Fort. The model is animated but the animation is currently half-broken on OpenMW as the grate is missing collision. This is likely going to be fixed in the future, either by the OAAB team or by the OpenMW team. In any case, you can just avoid messing around with gatehouse, treating it like a static asset instead of an interactive one. Made the stone platform at the Ghostgate one tile smaller (it simply looks a bit better and more proportionate).
- OAAB/TD integration for every shack interior in Seyda Neen, Hla Oad, Ald Velothi and Khuul. It’s nothing too extensive, just some fisherman’s equipment, some ropes ecc.
- Added kwama net sacks/bags to various velothi striderports, as seen in one of the official concept art drawings (models by Dim).
- Added patch for Markond’s Caldera Manor Redone. The original mod is already compatible if you run the batfile provided, but this makes it easier to use as it’s a simple esp replacer.
- Added an optional patch for Bustling Vivec that’s a bit of a mix between various BCoM’s Vivec modules and Bustling Vivec. It was made for personal usage but I bundled it here ‘cause why not?
- Some fixes: Fixed an interior at the Dren Plantation not matching the exterior. Fixed missing wall in Caldera Fixed floating wall at the Wolverine Hall
- Updated the following patches: Imperial Employment Office, Morrowind Anticheese, Magical Missions, Welcome Home, No trespassing, Animated Morrowind, Rise of House Telvanni, Ashlander Traders Remastered, Suran Underwold, Correspondances of Morrowind.
- Added the following patches: Arvesa - An Arminger’s Tale, The Sanguine Rose.
- Updated Suran Dock Expansion Addon, Ashlandish Maar Gan Addon.
This is all folks. The 3.0.0 update is a huge milestone for me, and I’m surprised to still be around, working on the same project. I’m here to fix various small issues and stuff, but I should really take a break and let this project sit for a while.
-
Version 2.9.9 Hotfix
- A set of fixes for the 2.9.9 release, mostly related to the various patches
Updated: Animated Morrowind, Magical Missions, No Trespassing, Yet Another Guard Diversity, Welcome Home.
Upadated Ashlandish Maar Gan addon.

Core esp files and resources need to be updated.
- A set of fixes for the 2.9.9 release, mostly related to the various patches
-
Version 2.9.9
- - Some edits made to Balmora and Suran. I removed a few concept art balconies and restored some elements from the original design. The reason behind this decision is that the ropebridge texture used by the concept art balconies is more suitable for poorer areas of town.
- Small rework of labour town to add more variety to the buildings being used, and remove some of the new ones that I felt had an "ugly" shape/outline.
- Incoporated some of the additions/changes from Lucevar's Pelagiad mod.
- Incoporated some of the additions/changes from Lucevar's Balmora Redecorated 3.0.
- Rework of the Hall of Potters in Vivec, adding potter's wheels from TR_Data and more clutter variety.
- Complete remake of he Glassworkers' Hall in Vivec. The interior is furnished with middle class furniture, has a dedicated space where the workers can make new stuff, and is now super colorful, with tons of new items made of different glass, from both TR_data and OAAB_data.
- The trapdoor model in the room of the Caldera Mages Guild Tower has been replaced with a better one.
- Added an optional addon for the Caldera Mages Guild, introducing a new tower model and furnishing the basement with something inspired by Billyfighter's mod (to explain the green smoke outside). Assets proved by DimNussens.
- New gatehouse model for the temple in Ald-ruhn, courtesy of DimNussens.
- Added a Galleon (one of the latest OAAB additions) to the port of Vivec.
- Replaced the Foul Murder Fresco texture at the Holamayan Monastery with a more vanilla friendly one.
- Fixed Welcome Home patch.
- Removed NX9 Houses patch: I didn't make this patch, and I was made aware that it has a few issues.
- Updated No Trespassing patch.
- - Some edits made to Balmora and Suran. I removed a few concept art balconies and restored some elements from the original design. The reason behind this decision is that the ropebridge texture used by the concept art balconies is more suitable for poorer areas of town.
-
Version 2.9.8
- It's been 84 years...The HD, high poly statues made by the RR team for the Ghostgate fortress have been bothering me since day one. Thans to DimNussens, we now have vanilla friendly statues for the Ghostgate fortress! The old statues are still available as part of the RR statues patch.
Processed all the grass patches with "The LawnMower" tool by acidzebra. Grass files are lighter and also look better: double win!
Fixed some clipping crates in Hla Oad.
Fixed a typo in the name of a container.

-
Version 2.9.7
- Added a script and global to simplify the process of making BCoM patches, adding a new way to deal with them. Thanks to MD for the idea.
Removed Sanguine Robe patch, as the mod is going to use the above mentioned method to be natively compatible with BCoM.
- Added a script and global to simplify the process of making BCoM patches, adding a new way to deal with them. Thanks to MD for the idea.
-

-
Version 2.9.5
- Fixed wrong travel marker in Ebonheart

Sorry for the quick flurry of updates. Merging in Ruined Molag Mar was more problematic than I was expecting.
- Fixed wrong travel marker in Ebonheart
-
Version 2.9.4
- Some optimization for Molag Mar (ref count from 650 to 585)
Small edit for compatibility with the total overhaul modlist
- Some optimization for Molag Mar (ref count from 650 to 585)
-
Version 2.9.3
- Fixed some miscplaced pathgrid nodes in the Waterworks version.
Integration of Prison Beds from OAAB.
Merged in Ruined Molag Mar.
Edited the following patches for compatibility with the new Molag Mar layout: NPC Schedules, Sload and slavers, Velothi Wall Art.
Small edits for compatibility with The Mysterious Affair of Sara Shenk.
Added a Maar Gan addon called "Ashlandish Maar Gan". This module is mostly based on Mika's "Mystical and Religious Maar Mar". The original mod has been cleaned up, decluttered, and the kitbashed meshes from the original mod like baskets full of Ash Yam and piles of logs have been swapped for vanilla assets. The vast majority of people living in Maar Gan have ashlander names, so I think the idea of scattering some ashlander items around town works quite well. Likewise, swapping the standard yellow lanterns for blue ones to create a more "mystical and relious" atmosphere was, in my opinion a nice idea.
- Fixed some miscplaced pathgrid nodes in the Waterworks version.
-
Version 2.9.2
- Added grass patches for the upcoming mod "Caldera Priory" by Seelof. Patches for mods that are yet to be released: patchception?
Added optional "More Tribal Erabenimsun" addon.
Some changes to the BCOM_Vivec_Bustling_Arena addon.
Changed a dialogue line about services in Suran.
Swapped one of the ships at the Vivec ports for the OAAB small dunmer ship (more variety, yay!).
Some fixes to the Imperials Go Home patch.
- Added grass patches for the upcoming mod "Caldera Priory" by Seelof. Patches for mods that are yet to be released: patchception?
-
Version 2.9.1
- Added optional Vanilla Skar/Underskar option.
Fixed a couple of misplaced dialogue entires.
Updated Morrowind Crafting patch.
Removed Arvesa - An Arminger's Tale patch, since the original mod is no longer available.
Removed Mines and Caverns patch as it's quite outdated at this point and not actually needed.
Yet another guard diversity - Full Cephalopod has been updated and it's now using the cephalopod armor from TD_data. I also integrated some assets TD_data, taking clues from Interesting Outfits - Kinsmer.
- Added optional Vanilla Skar/Underskar option.
-
Version 2.9.0
- Fixed OAAB - Foyada Mamea patch
Fixed optional Stav's MGO module
- Fixed OAAB - Foyada Mamea patch
-
Version 2.8.9
- Fixed an issue with a dialogue line
Fixed an issue with the optional "Bustling Arena" addon.
- Fixed an issue with a dialogue line
-
Version 2.8.8
- Added patch for Ashtaar’s Bustling Vivec
Merged in Ashtaar’s Tailors and Dyers and Fishmongers interiors. They have been edited quite a lot.
The general idea and layout remain mostly the same, but I cut stuff from dr_data as much as I could, replacing it with either OAAB and TR_Data counterparts.
This is because:
1. I’d rather use assets from more popular assets repositories, so the new additions don’t end up being exclusive to only 1 or 2 interiors.
2. I don’t like how dr_data assets tend to go against Morrowind’s design where everything you see is a single object you can interact with. Piles of fishes, cups with 5 brushes ecc being a single object doesn’t work for me.
Added optional Arena Canton customization option, heavily inspired by Asthar Bustling Vivec setup for the Arena Canton.
- Added patch for Ashtaar’s Bustling Vivec
-
Version 2.8.7
- Only updated the patch zip.
Updated Animated Morrowind and Correspondances of Morrowind to make them compatible with my standalone Molag Mar mod.
- Only updated the patch zip.
-
Version 2.8.6
- Swapped some of the fireplaces using Barabus' resources with better ones from the latest OAAB_data update.
Removed fireplaces added to Dagon Fel. Those edits were pushed to my Dagon Fel mod.
Waterworks version: ropes, lanterns and banners around the canal in Balmora are now optional, and have been moved to an optional addon. This was done because I personally prefer a less cluttered look, and because it can also save some FPS.
Added full set of grass patches for Aesthesia Reworked Groundcover, and trimmed them to avoid grass spawing into towns. The grass files have been also trimmed down to be natively compatible with OAAB Grazelands and Caldera Mine Expanded.
Dropped support for Aesthesia Groundcover since the Reworked version runs and looks better and has now a full set of patches.
Added alternative hlaalu version of Stav's MGO.
Turned St. Veloth Hostel in Molag Mar into a de_m interior.
Turned Vasesius Viciulus' shop in Molag Mar into a de_m interior.
Merged in my recently released mod "Molag Mar Waistworks Shop".

Minor imporvements here and there. Fixed a few isseus with the fomod.
Updated the following patches: Animated Morrowind, Holidays Across Tamriel, Correspondances of Morrowind.
- Swapped some of the fireplaces using Barabus' resources with better ones from the latest OAAB_data update.
-
Version 2.8.5
- Removed stuff inspired from the stronghold set from the Ghostgate fortress. Now the fortress built in velothi style and should look closer to vanilla. This also requires you to re-install the meshes (so the various atlas and GITD patches too).
Updated the following patches: Red Mountain Reborn, OAAB Foyada Mamaea and Main Quest Enhancers.
Fixed some issues in Balmora - Waterworks version.
Added an optional addon that restores the rotating planets on Vivec's statues at the Ghostgate.
- Removed stuff inspired from the stronghold set from the Ghostgate fortress. Now the fortress built in velothi style and should look closer to vanilla. This also requires you to re-install the meshes (so the various atlas and GITD patches too).

Version 2.8.4
- Some edits to the various Holamayan Monastery interiors to make them more vanilla friendly.
Replaced the fake books/book containers in the Holamayan Monastery Library with proper books.

-
Version 2.8.3
- Fixed a few issues related to TD deprecated IDs
Minor improvements here and there
Added Hlaalu Banks to the Hlaalu Council House in Balmora, and to the Hlaalu Treasury in Vivec. They come with a full fleshed interior overhaul of these two cells.
Added a few more items ot the Telvanni, Hlaalu and Redoran vaults.
Finally got around to fix the two new shops originally added by Izi Ebonheart overhaul, which should now look more vanilla friendly.
Updated the following patches: Animated Morrowind, Holidays Across Tamriel, Correspondances of Morrowind
- Fixed a few issues related to TD deprecated IDs
-
Version 2.8.2
- Fixed crash in Surane Leoriane's house in Caldera (on vanilla engine, openmw didn't have the same issue)
-
Version 2.8.1
- Overhaul of Suriane Leoriane'house in Caldera.
Dropped Thirteen Telvanni patch as the original mod has now native bcom support.
New asset being used in a few interiors: com_rich_closet
- Overhaul of Suriane Leoriane'house in Caldera.
-
Version 2.8.0
- - Renamred the TR_travels patch to TR_BCOM_Patch as the old TR_travels esp is now just a dummy file and the traveling NPCs are all in the core TR esm.
-
Version 2.7.9
- Fixed some patches (Caius rooftop renovations, TR and PT)
Repackaged some old Tamriel_data assets to fix Gnisis that couldn't be fixed by Tamriel_Data Graveyard - Deprecations un-deprecated.

Vanilla style Ghostfence pillars are now part of the core esp, with the concept art variant being moved to an optional addon

Some fixes here and there for better consistency (eg removed dunmer lanterns in Ebonheart)
Added patch for "Caius' rooftop renovations"
Added patch for the recently released "Thirteen Telvanni"
Removed the following patches:
Abot's boats, TR version. There's no TR version of the mod at the moment, so I can't make a patch
Abot's silt striders: same as Abot's boats.
Improved Inns Exapanded, TR version. Patching TR inns takes a long, long, long time. I don't have the willpower, and I also don't feel like maintaining a patch that's going to be broken later on once TR updates again.
SHOTN patch: no longer needed since it's now compatible out of the box
Updated the following patches:
TR Travels. No longer a patch but rather an esp replacer
Yet another guard diversity

Updated the dock options to match the new landscape edits.
This change also broke the BalmoraDock patches. Since I don't have the motivation to remake them, I simply nuked them. Sorry to disappoint.

Updated The Lamp patch (Thanks to TimSimo for the original patch and the update).
Removed a building from the central plaza in Balmora that’s been bothering me since the Seat of Power release (Shargam gro-Shagdulg's House). I tried to remove/change it a few times already, but I couldn’t figure out how to preserve the hallway right under high town without it.
Updated the pathgrid reset esp files.
- One last update before I take the aforementioned break :P

Updated OAAB - Foyada Mamaea patches.
Some fixes to "The Lamp" patch.
Added Balmora docks patch for the Waterworks fork, but I'd strongly suggest to avoid using it as it's a bad mod. I won't judge, and I provided a patch. Just a friendly advice :P
- Updated Dren's villa with a custom model, better matching Dominik Zdenković's Concept, which is the base for the entire plantation overhaul.
-
Version 2.6.4
- No esp edits, I simply renamed some files for a more logical naming scheme:
- Replaced all instances of "BOM" with "BCOM"
- Renamed the files in the 01 and 02 folders
Yes, I should have done this a long time ago.
Yes, this makes it boring and tedious to update to the latest version.

Adjusted Lucky Lockup bed renting dialogue to match the current layout Updated Improved Inns patches
Updated Izi’s council house plaza to use the new OAAB Hlaalu Planter instead of the Velothi one
In vanilla, for some reason, each gondolier can only take you to 3 locations, even though they have 4 travel slots available. Added 4th travel option to each gondolier, so they can all take you anywhere. This is both more logical, and just plain better in terms of quality of life.

- Fixed TR travel patches
-
Version 2.4.2
- Carpet variety has come to Morrowind!
Like the last update, this one brings in subtle changes that go a long way to add depth and realism to the world of Morrowind.
Over the last year, we got a few amazing carpet resources for Morrowind. Some come from OAAB_data, some others from TR_Data and lastly a great resource pack released by Vegetto.
I used these resources to clutter some fancy interiors like manors in Hight Town in Balmora or the manor district in Ald’Ruhn.
More interestingly, I was also able to give ashlanders their own unique carpets.
Used sparingly, these new carpets help differentiate various social classes and improve variety.
I also fixed a few minor issues and integrated some of the new banners made by Rats for TR and merged in “Graffiti of Morrowind”
- Carpet variety has come to Morrowind!
-
Version 2.4.1
- Dunmer middle class has arrived in Morrowind!
It's not something that most player would ever notice, but Morrowind has a lower-, middle- and upper-class furniture set for imperial style furniture, but only a poor- and rich- style furniture set for dunmer style furniture.
This is weird, considering Morrowind is a game about dunmers, but it also disappointing from a worldbuilding perspective.
Luckyily, both TR_data and OAAB_data have worked on this and made a dunmer middle class furniture set. The set is well designed, fits well into the game and is complete and versatile. I checked basically every interior in the game, tried to identify the ones that could be considered "middle class" and integrated the set as well as I could.
The result is that over 40 interiors have been modified and cluttered with this new set, so that the additions blend in organically with the original content and don't feel like someone slapped a few new pieces around just for the sake of novelty and variety. Since TR makes use of this furniture set, this also fixes a big inconsistency when using TR.
The entire process took some serious effort and was quite tedious, but while not exactly flashy, I think it's one of the best bits of the entire mod, as it adds depth, variety and realism while making minimal changes.
This required an update to some of the patches:
- Correspondences of MW
- Animated MW
- Holidays across Tamriel
- Starfire's NPCs
I Also updated Sload and Slavers to the latest version and Vanilla Friendly Wearables Expansion (it’s not part of BCoM but I’d rather point it out here that get reports from people who forgot to update both).
- Dunmer middle class has arrived in Morrowind!
-

- Updated Suran dock epansion&clutter addon
- Upated Foyada Mamea Overhaul patch
- Fixed a few minor issues
-
Version 2.3.6
- - Partially merged-in Concept Arts Plantations. I merged the reworked layout of the Dren Plantation but not the rework of the Arvel Plantation, that's because I don't want to merge high-poly/high-res assets into BCoM.
You can still get the complete mod by using the patched version of Concept Arts Plantations I added to the zip.
- Swapped mod-added enchanted items at "Ebonheart, Tari: Enchanter" with vanilla items.
- - Partially merged-in Concept Arts Plantations. I merged the reworked layout of the Dren Plantation but not the rework of the Arvel Plantation, that's because I don't want to merge high-poly/high-res assets into BCoM.

Fixed OpenMW – Welcome to the Arena patch
Updated Duragra-Bol's House Reclaimed - And the Grab-All Gang patch
Many improvements to the OpenMW Animated Morrowind patch to make sure there’s no floating sitters. The issue with the original OpenMW patch is that the animations were patched but the AI was left untouched, so some sitters were using standard idles animations, which resulted in them just standing on top of stools at times.
This is, to my knowledge, the only (truly) fixed OpenMW – Animated MW patch available.
- Fixed a few minor issues and improved lighting in some interiors.
-
Version 2.3.3
- Fixed an issue in the Welcome Home patches

- Fixed some issues in the Foyada Mamea Overhaul patches
-
Version 2.1.8
- Some of the mods merged into BCoM had some quite over-the-top/overcluttered interiors.
With this update, I revised and toned down all of them, for better consistency with the vanilla game.
Most notable changes:
- The Caldera mages guild private quarters have been deleted. The guild still has a new floor with a kitchen and a dormitory, but it’s all built in the same cell, using the stackable staircases made by the TR_team. The new layout also matches the exterior (it previously didn’t). It’s quite cozy and I’m happy about how it turned out. The two wall-shelves in the main room have also been heavily decluttered.
- The arch-magister room in Vivec’s mages guild has been heavily decluttered.
- Expansion to Balmora guilds has been massively toned down. The fighter guild only has a kitchen now as an addition and the mages guild only has the library. Reasoning for the change: private quarters at the mages guild are not really necessary as the base game already has bunkbeds and tables for members of the guild.
- The expansion of the council hall in Sadith Mora has been removed (and I updated the standalone mod “Council House Lounge Room” with the changes I made to it for BCoM in the meantime.
- With the logic of keeping the most transformative changes as an optional addon, the dock expansion in Sadrith Mora has been moved to an addon.
- Updated Faction living quarters patch
- Updated AM patches
- Updated to use the latest OAAB_data.esm
- Some of the mods merged into BCoM had some quite over-the-top/overcluttered interiors.

White Suran and Stav's MGO have thus been moved to a separate esp. Should have been like this from the start.
Merged in the Hlaalu Council Manor Overhaul
Added additional 01 folder that simply adds back the vanilla trees in frton of the Hlaalu Council Manor.
Updated Holidays Across Tamriel and Correspondances of Morrowind patch
Updated Mlox_user.txt with a bunch of new rules.

-
Version 2.1.2
- - Revised every interior coming from Balmora Rooftop Apartments to remove the most “moddy” bits.

- Some improvements related to pathgrid and lighting.
-
Version 2.0.9
- Restored the original lighthouse design and position while making the lighthouse taller than vanilla to make sure it’s still the tallest building in Seyda Neen.
The previous lighthouse design is still available as an optional addon for those who prefer it.
Why making it optional? Because it was one of the most arbitrary changes in BCoM. Having it optional required high levels of trickery and I just recently realized there was a way to do it.
Updated abot’s silt striders patches
- Restored the original lighthouse design and position while making the lighthouse taller than vanilla to make sure it’s still the tallest building in Seyda Neen.

Version 2.0.6
- Merged in Balmora Guilds expanded (after having tweaked the mod a lot by fixing bugs and small issues).
Balmora guilds were the only ones still not fleshed out by BCoM and I thought that was a bit inconsistent.
Removed buyable backstreet pod from Sadrith Mora. For those who wants to buy a house there’s already the Welcome Home patch
Cleaned a couple of dirty references
Edited the Traveling Merchants patches so they work for OpenMW users too
- Merged in Balmora Guilds expanded (after having tweaked the mod a lot by fixing bugs and small issues).

Version 2.0.4

Fixed new NPCs in the Ald'ruhn MQ not deactivating as intended during a quest
- Added some needed assets that the automatic packager tool skipped.
-
Version 1.9.6
- - Completed the imperial interior overhaul. In the base game, there were no imperial rugs. TR_Data has a lot of imperial rugs, so I used those to replace dunmer rugs in imperial interiors. A few more bits of clutter have also been added here and there. Although this is technically a small change, the overall atmosphere of imperial interiors is now a bit more distinct and this should better separate imperial and dunmer aesthetics.
- Fixed a few issues here and there
- Removed some assets and cleaned the assets folder so now the zip is a bit lighter

- Made an optional addon that's basically an edit of mine on Seelof's mod for those who simply want the library without additional features (quests, dungeons ecc.)
- Overhaul of the Lucky Lockup. One unique feature about the place was the stage with the instruments so I took that and built on it. The place should now be more coherent overall and there's now a secod floor with scenic balconies where patrons can have a drink while watching entertainers perform from higher up.
- Added a cozy room at the top of the tower in the Caldera Mages Guild. The room is simply locked, it's up to the player to decide what's the purpose of the room.
- For some reason, the AM patches carried AMBI infos from TLAD (possibly something abot did intentionally at some point): cleaned the records so super dark interiors when using AM should no longer be an issue.
- Updated pathgrid esp
- Updated Improved Inns patches
- Added patch for The Sanguine Rose
- Added patch for High Art
- - Overhaul of tavern in gnaar mok
-
Version 1.9.4

Overhaul of the Duke's room in Ebonheart
Added some OAAB clutter in some of the interiors of Pelagiad
Some tiny fixes
Updated pathgrid esp and AI modules of the grass patches.

Version 1.9.3
- Overhaul of the smith's shop in Caldera: the interior now matches the exterior and there's a forge.
Updated Store Entrance Chimes patch and pathgrid esp
Removed pathgrid esp files from 01 folders as I realized it's enough to load the esp in the 01 folders after the pathgrid reset esp
Some misc improvements here and there.

-
Version 1.8.9
- Decently sized update: THIS REQUIRES THE MOST UPDATED OAAB_DATA
- Some of the models bundled in the zip have been merged into OAAB and further optimized
- UN-merged Hospitality Papers expanded. Out of the scope of BCoM and Poodle is planning on improving the mod anyway.
- Lots and lots of tiny fixes here and there
- Merged in more bits of Ald’run mages guild expansion but made the kitchen a seamless transition as I don’t like teleporting doors in interiors
- Merged in “Into The Fyr”, with some fixes and changes here and there
- Merged in “Edwinna's Study” as it makes perfect sense, but made the little tweak suggested by R0 in the comment section
- Overhaul of Verick Gemainin’s shop in Caldera (improved compared to the standalone release)
- More OAAB and TR_Data integration
- I really wanted something in the style of “The priest Hideout” by Mika, but not as a player home. Since there were no interiors in the base game where that sort of design would fit, I overhauled one of the new shops added by BCoM (Vivec, M'Drashi's Tat Shop). This shop is now one of the cosiest interiors in Morrowind :P. Before permission issues start to arise, none of Mika’s work has actually been used here. I simply took inspiration and created a similar atmosphere.
- Moved the attic addon for Arille tradehouse from Improved inns to the main esp.
- Cluttered Arille tradehouse a bit and added a bartender (why was Elone, a scout hanging around the tradehouse, looking like she was the bartender?)
- Fixed the landscape in Caldera. Previous versions of BCoM had no edits to Caldera landscape, for compatibility with the Stonewood Pass. I managed to take out edits to Caldera from the Stonewood Pass Reworked so it’s no longer an issue. The landscape in Caldera was terrible, to the point of having half buried entrances, jaggy terrain in the middle of town and so forth. It’s all fixed now.
- Overahul of Mebestien Ence’s shop in Pelagiad
- Changes to the pawnbroker’s shop in Caldera - Changes to the clothier shop in Caldera
- Noticed that Elmussa Damori's House in Caldera had a chimney outside but no fireplace inside: reworked the interior to add a fireplace to it so it matches the exterior.
- Added vault to Tel Naga as it’s mentioned multiple times that Tel Naga has a vault: loosely based on “The Great Treasury Heist of Tel Naga Tower” but more in line with vanilla cluttering style.
- Improvements to the Telvanni Council House Lounge Room
- Improvements to the dirty Muriel Cornerclub and some changes. Mostly, I removed the Cyrodiil imports as they seemed to expensive and flashy for what’s supposed to be a shithole. Among the vanilla taverns, the only one that I can see having fresh imports like grapes and tomatoes is the Six Fishes, which leads me to the next point.
- Changes to the Six Fishes tavern in Ebonheart which now has Cyrodiil imports (makes sense here).
- Fixed some wrongly rotated North markers
- Improvements to Sadrith Mora’s landscape - Improvements to Rithleen’s house in Balmora
- Slightly expanded the shop of the smith in Molag Mar and added proper smith equipment.
- Cleaned up Vori’s house
- Contained “overhaul” of Shenk’s Showel with some flavour dialogue to go along with it.
- Overhaul of Ahnassi’s house. Apart from more clutter, there’s also a cozy hidden room, fitting for a kitty (so make sure to look around!). As it’s usually the case with my overhauls, I aimed for realism rather than trying to make the house a super convenient player home.
- More books for Jobasha’s shop. Based on Jobasha’s bookshop expanded but reworked a bit.
- Changed the name of the lighthouse cell to “Seyda Neen, Grand Pharos Lighthouse”. Dialogue suggest that this should be the name (information found looking at Melchior’s Uniformity list)
- Removed the dock expansion in Seyda Neen and placed a new ship that appears after chargen is done. This requires patching Siege at Firemoth (which is included as a patch).
- Added patch for Pillow Mage Manor
- Updated Childern of Morrowind patch of my random mods page and moved compatibility patch for No Trespassing in BCoM main zip.
- Updated TLAD patch
- Update YAGD patch
- Updated Improved Inns expanded patches
- Updated Correspondences of MW patch
- Updated Animated Morrwoind Patches
- Updated abot’s boats and silt strider patches
- Updated Holidays across Tamriel patch
- Updated AC modules of the grass patches
- Decently sized update: THIS REQUIRES THE MOST UPDATED OAAB_DATA
-
Version 1.8.6
- Merged in both Dirty Muriel Expansion and Cozy Dirty Muriel and made them compatible with each other.
Tweaked Correspondances of Morrowind patch for compatibility.
Added BOM_pathgrid_reset into folder 01 as Brevur and Izi’s decorations require a different pathgrid in that spot.
Tweaked AM patches for cross compatibility with Welcome Home Added patch for Gildergreen of Balmora. The mod is already compatible, but it requires some pathgrid edits that get overwritten by BOM_pathgrid_reset.esp so it’s just an esp replacer for the pathgrid reset.
Restored the original NPC Dronos Llervu for compatibility with LGNPC Pax Redoran
Added patch for Glass Domes
Added patch for Balmora Docks, kindly made by Lucevar
Added patch for Moonlight On The Odai River, by Lucevar, Qualia and NullCascade
- Merged in both Dirty Muriel Expansion and Cozy Dirty Muriel and made them compatible with each other.
-
Version 1.8.5
- - The Publicans, and by extension Improved Inns expanded, add floating hammocks at the Plot and Plaster in Tel Aruhn, that you can only reach by levitating.
This was probably to avoid making cell edits. When you read about the lore of the Plot and Plaster though, you realize it’s just a shithole for thieves and slavers, not a fancy tavern for wizards. In this sense, floating hammocks make absolutely no sense. To fix this, I expanded the tavern and added a proper room.
- In Khuul, The Publicans adds bed rental functionality to Thongar’s tradehouse, but the bed is in the middle of a tradehouse, with customers coming in, people drinking ecc.
I instead added a second floor to the tradehouse so that now there’s proper beds and the place also looks more like a tavern.
There must be a place where the locals can go to enjoy a drink and have a good time right?
- The patches for Improved Inns and The Publicans had to be tweaked and I added some animated NPCs in the expanded tradehouse so the AM patches have been edited too.
- Some tweaks here and there for consistency and added some OAAB clutter to Fara’s hole in the walland Sethan’s tradehouse (telvanni fireplace, telvanni chimney and some food).
- One of the cloth lines that was using custom textures uses now vanilla textures (always preferable)
- Fixed an issue with the Dura Gra-Bol's house reclaimed patch.
- Lastly, Mort tweaked some rooms that were too heavy on expensive loot as a rebalance change
- - The Publicans, and by extension Improved Inns expanded, add floating hammocks at the Plot and Plaster in Tel Aruhn, that you can only reach by levitating.
-
Version 1.8.4
- Even Seedier Eight plates has been merged in, BUT animated npcs have been moved to the AM patches so people who don’t like AM don’t have to worry.
Since some of the animations in Even Seedier Eight plates are not compatible with OpenMW, this means that vanilla engine users get the full experience while the OpenMW users can now enjoy the new tavern design without floating npcs. As a bonus, the cigar has been replaced with a pipe model from Tamriel_data.
Note: I updated the AM zip on my Random Mods page as the new assets only relevant to AM are bundled there, to avoid bloating BCoM’s zip.
- Even Seedier Eight plates has been merged in, BUT animated npcs have been moved to the AM patches so people who don’t like AM don’t have to worry.
-
Version 1.8.3
- Added patch for Imperials Go Home and some fixes/tweaks
-
Version 1.8.2
- Updated Illuminated Order patch to the latest update by mort
-
Version 1.8.1
- Worked a bit on consistency and performance optimization. Apart from that, the biggest change in this update is that the waterfront in Suran has been reworked to make it feel more natural and the dock cluttering has been toned down a bit. This required landscape edits so I had to tweak the AI modules of the grass patches, the vanilla style Suran patch and the Suran underworld patch.
-
Version 1.8.0
- During the last round of mesh improvements, transparency was accidentally removed from the plazas meshes: fixed.
A bunch of tiny fixes here and there.
- During the last round of mesh improvements, transparency was accidentally removed from the plazas meshes: fixed.
-
Version 1.7.9
- Made some pathgrid adjustments to Vivec’s waistworks. Not problematic in general but when using mods that add wandering NPCs in interiors, I noticed some issues.
Turned one of the new buildings in Suran into a bookstore (I noticed that Suran has no residents, only shops. So adding a new shop feels more natural than adding a simple commoner).
- Made some pathgrid adjustments to Vivec’s waistworks. Not problematic in general but when using mods that add wandering NPCs in interiors, I noticed some issues.
-
Version 1.7.8
- Fixed some issues in the Improved Inns Expanded patches. Added patch for The Publicans
-
Version 1.7.7
- The interior of the Gnisis Temple was behaving in a weird way, with references randomly disappearing.
I used a brute force approach to fix it, would be nice if you guys could test and check for missing walls/objects (on a clean save).
Some patches had to be edited: Mamaea Awakened, Holidays across tamriel, Animated morrowind and Correspondances of Morrowind.
Bonus: tweaked some npcs from AM so they use the hoods from OAAB.
- The interior of the Gnisis Temple was behaving in a weird way, with references randomly disappearing.
-
Version 1.7.6
- Realigned the dock pieces in Suran. Added a few more resources to the AM patches (if you use AM, make sure to download the latest update of AM on my Random mods page as the assets are there)
-
Version 1.7.5
- Fixed the Hospitality Papers dialogue tree that for some reason got scrumbled up. Reverted the fort in Pelagiad to vanilla models and layout.
-
Version 1.7.4
- Some OCD fixes. Moved the yurt in the Urshilaku camp from the Welcome Home patch so it doesn't clip with the guars. Added a TOTSP compatible version of Welcome Home. Assets optimization and more atlased models by Drakonic/Ravenorror, a true hero.
-
Version 1.7.3
- Removed patch for "Local Lore - Silt Striders and Caravaners", use the "no-rename" version instead that's already compatible.
Made a small tweak to supporto "The Publicans" (needs to load before BCoM).
Fixed an issue with the NPC schedules patch
- Removed patch for "Local Lore - Silt Striders and Caravaners", use the "no-rename" version instead that's already compatible.
-
Version 1.7.2
- Fixed a pathgrid issue in Pelagiad, added house affiliation pillars in Gnisis and Ald’Ruhn and re-made the Welcome Home patch. Now the patch has every house that the original mod had, nothing has been cut.
-
Version 1.7.1
- Restored the outdoor bar in Gnisis
-
Version 1.7.0
- Fixed another common complaint: separated animated NPCs from the base esp. Now the sitting ashlanders, the bards in Tel Aruhn and a few more animated NPCs that were in BCoM have been moved to Animated Morrowind’s esp. Makes sense and this also allows for a smaller zip.
-
Version 1.6.9
- Every new addition brings new unexpected issues :P
Fixed a bunch of Gnisis-related issues.
Fixed some patches.
- Every new addition brings new unexpected issues :P
-
Version 1.6.8
- Ported over HOTV temple edits (interior). Differently from HOTV, the z coordinate has been reverted to vanilla (so it’s more compatible) and the minaret has been made seamless (feels a bit better to move from the temple to the minaret).
The position of the tower in Pelagiad has been reverted to vanilla as it matches the concept art drawing. Moving the tower allowed a more logical layout but didn't make sense in the context of what this mod is all about.
Some patches had to be adjusted (Mamaea Awakened, Animated Morrowind, Holidays across Tamriel).
Renumbered some of the patches as there was a double folder 57 (thanks to SAJNM for the report).
- Ported over HOTV temple edits (interior). Differently from HOTV, the z coordinate has been reverted to vanilla (so it’s more compatible) and the minaret has been made seamless (feels a bit better to move from the temple to the minaret).
-
Version 1.6.7
- Added patch for "Local Lore - Silt Striders and Caravaners"
-
Version 1.6.6
- Looks like Dennai was right! Another major update.
There’s now and esp to remove Stav’s mages guild overhaul edits and I decided I really wanted to port over HOTV’s amazing landscaping for Gnisis since it’s so close to concept art. Now you can enjoy a hardcore, 100% true to concept art Gnisis experience.
A lot of patches had to be edited and a few more mods that conflicted with the new landscape have been patched.
- Sload and Slavers
- Redoran patrols
- Traveling merchants
I also added some stuff to Caldera, inspired by Izi’s Caldera mod.

- No esp update so don't laugh at me thinking you were right Dennai!

My love letter to this old and beautiful game. To its alien and magic atmosphere that still manages to draw me in, 20 years after its release.
Hours upon hours of work at my desk, with Aphex Twin in the background and my girlfriend telling me I should stop spending my time tweaking the position of a barrel or a crate while running around as an half naked dark elf with a bun.
This is a comprehensive overhaul project focused on town and cities, inspired by an appreciation for Morrowind's original worldbuilding design and Michael Kirkbride's concept art.
Rather than forcing something new into the game, the goal was to enhance vanilla, adding details and restoring some elements seen in concept art but never implemented by Bethesda.
A big effort has also been made to keep the FPS cost as low as possible, and the archive has over 90 compatibility patches, as one of the goals of this project was to be highly compatible with other mods.
West Gash: Balmora, Gnisis, Khuul, Caldera, Ald Velothi
Bitter Coast: Seyda Neen, Hla Oad, Gnaar Mok
Ashlands: Ald'ruhn, Maar Gan, Molag Mar
Ascadian Isles: Vivec, Suran, Ebonheart, Pelagiad
Azuras Coast: Sadrith Mora and the Wolverine Hall, Tel Aruhn, Tel Fyr
Other locations already covered:
Ashlander Camps
Imperial Forts
Holamayan Monastery
Mount Assarnibibi
Seven Shrines
Dren and Arvel plantations
Ship interiors (but not Shipwrecks, so it's compatible with OAAB Shipwrecks)
Some locations were not edited for compatibility with a few mods that complement this project and that are recommended.
Beautiful Cities is more than a simple merge of mods
The mod page used to have a list of merged mods since the mod initially started as a merge of standalone mods. However, over time, the project has evolved into something quite different from what you would get by simply using all the credited mods together. The mods and their respective authors are credited in the credits section, but the mod list no longer representative of what this project has to offer.
The general principles that guided me throughout the long updating history of this project were:
- Less is more. No unnecessary additions, excessive clutter, or "creative ideas" that result in weird cobbling.
- Coherence and consistency: when introducing a new asset, it should be naturally integrated throughout the entire game. Similarly, the style and density of clutter should remain consistent from one location to another. An issue with installing different mods, created by different authors, for various towns is that it can result in a lack of a unified artistic direction.
Practically speaking, this is what's been done:
- In many cases, the mods I used as a foundation have undergone significant reworking to ensure that their quality is up to standards.
The polishing process has been ongoing for over two years and has involved more than just fixing minor bugs and issues. As I gained more knowledge about Morrowind and collaborated with the TR team, my skills as a modder improved.
Some of the core issues present in the mods merged into this project were related to design rather than a lack of polish, and I am confident that I have addressed those as well.
- Assets and FPS optimization: don't underestimate this point. To give you an example, the original HOTV (used as a base for Gnisis) had over 1200 refs in the main cell. The version included here has a bit more than 800, plus optimized and atlased versions of the new assets, resulting in a 15 FPS gain when compared with the original, standalone mod.
- TR_data and OAAB_data integration for an overall more organic experience when using Tamriel Rebuilt and the OAAB mod series. Using OAAB and TR_Data also means that assets are going to be consistent and coherent for each location while most standalone overhaul mods make use of different resources.
- There is a significant amount of new content included in this mod that is not available as standalone mods. I have focused extensively on overhauling interiors, such as revamping every common/imperial shop using the expanded set provided by TR_data and OAAB_data, or the integrating the dunmer middle class set (covering more than 30 interiors). Other additions include an extensive rework of all the ships in the game, a remake of the Ghostgate, integration of OAAB Gatehouses and much more.
- Compatibility: the patch zip contains over 90 compatibility patches, making this a surprisingly compatible project, considering its scale and scope. Some additional patches are also available here and here.
Tamriel_Data
Can I install this on an existing save?
I would say no because some information gets stored on the save file, such as the position of activators, NPCs, lanterns, etc. Installing the mod on an existing save might lead to floating objects, misplaced objects or NPCs. OpenMW handles this a lot better than the vanilla engine, so you might be fine using OpenMW. However, I would still recommend against installing the mod on an existing save.
Can I update this on an existing save?
I would say no, for the same reason of the previous question.
What can I do about this error? "One or more plugins could not find the correct versions of the master files they depend on".
You can either ignore the warning, as it is completely harmless, or you can learn to sync master files with wrye mash.
I have a lot of missing meshes (yellow triangle error), what can I do?
You likely forgot to register TR_data's bsa files, or you installed a patch without installing the needed assets from the original mod.
Is this compatible with...?
If there's no patch in the zip, it's likely that the mod is compatible, as I put a lot of effort into compatibility. Luckily, the community has repaid my efforts by taking BCoM compatibility into account, so most new mods are released with compatibility patches for BCoM when needed. Other than that, just use common sense. For example, don't expect a highly transformative Balmora overhaul to be compatible with BCoM.
Why don't you make this a modular mod?
A modular approach would exponentially complicate things, particularly with the patches. Imagine making an Animated Morrowind patch for every single location that needs one, and then accounting for different combinations (for people who only install Balmora, or those who just install Ald'ruhn and Sadrith Mora ecc.).
I hope this example makes it easy to understand how it's just too much to handle for a single guy, and how this would also discourage people from making BCoM patches in the first place.
What I'd like to say here is that this project stands on the shoulders of many many members of the community who let me use their work or who helped me out when I needed help of feedback. I'm am grateful to all of you.
